Mile by Mile, TAP supports three new entities in the “Causes with Wings” Program

TAP Miles&Go clients can donate miles for solidarity flights to three new organizations in the three-year period 2025-2027.

TAP Air Portugal's social responsibility initiative has selected three new organizations to be supported by the TAP Donate Miles “Causes with Wings” program. For the three-year period 2025-2027, Leigos para o Desenvolvimento, Make-a-Wish and Refood have been selected. 
 
The TAP Miles&Go program allows Customers to donate miles to non-profit social organizations, which may use them to fly on solidarity missions within TAP's network of destinations.

In the first year of the partnership, these organizations will receive one million miles offered by TAP, but they also have the opportunity to raise up to one million miles for each year of the partnership in donations made by TAP Miles&Go Program Clients.

These miles are converted into airline tickets, allowing partners to carry out missions in needy communities. The TAP Donate Miles program, created in 2007, delivers help where it is most needed and supported more than 60 social entities, contributing to projects in line with TAP's sustainability objectives.

Leigos para o Desenvolvimento is a Catholic Non-Governmental Development Organization that has been working in Portuguese-speaking African countries for almost 40 years. Their mission is to promote the integral and integrated development of people and communities, and, in 2024, they supported around 25,000 people, with 500 volunteers. The areas of intervention include the environment, combating and eradicating poverty, training, and development, benefiting local communities, particularly young people and women.

The Make-a-Wish Foundation's mission is to make wishes that transform lives come true, supporting children and young people aged three to 17 facing serious, progressive, or degenerative illnesses. With the generous support of volunteers, partners, donors, health professionals and school communities, they make the impossible possible and create unique, totally personalized experiences that turn into moments of happiness and remain forever in the memory of those who live them.

The Refood 4 Good Association is an IPSS focused on transforming food waste into nutrition. With eight thousand volunteers in 70 communities in mainland Portugal, Refood rescues more than three million meals a year, avoiding 1500 tons of bio-waste and feeding eight thousand beneficiaries every day. It now has the ambition to reach Madeira and the Azores, but also to take the ‘Refood Pioneers’ to the USA, Brazil and Angola.
